mxtech1 Added a reply to Rear axle position
8/23/2022 8:28pm When you realize that the swingarm is nothing but a lever arm with a wheel attached to 
Torque = Radius * Force * Sin(angle) Radius is set by swingarm pivot center to rear axle center. Thus, moving the axle inboard or outboard changes the radius and impacts the torque being applied.

Clearly says 460 on the side, so I would say that's valid.

7/5/2022 9:26am Not lugging, but scenarios where the engine is experiencing extremely high torque loads in the mid-RPM range with 100% throttle being applied. High torque loads generate more heat than free-revving at the top of the RPM range. Red Bud is one of those tracks where most straights, & even a good majority of the corners, allow for 100% throttle.

5/31/2022 10:24am You watch a F1 or MotoGP race and get spoiled with how good and technologically advanced a racing production CAN BE when done correctly. Then we get hit this absolute steaming pile of a production that costs $99 per year. Garbage. But priorities though....they for sure had their commercials, promos, and corporate rider segments nailed down. Cuz who actually cares...

Funny you ask… fully stock motor. Hasn’t been touched. I have a twisted ECU pre programmed, not tuned. That’s it. I do run the Rekluse torque drive clutch pack, FMF pipe, and Pirelli tires that always seem to hook up great

5/5/2022 6:26am Motocross is strong in Illinois, both in terms of rider counts & track availability. If it wasn't for the shitty weather 6 months out of the year, corrupt State government, and death by taxation, it would be a decent place to live for any moto rider lol
mxtech1 Added a reply to What do you do to a brand new bike before riding?
5/5/2022 6:24am At a minimum any owner of a new bike should: Check the air filter Check fluid levels Set bar & lever positions Check tire pressure Verify no obviously loose hardware before going for that first ride. Other than that, just ride the darn thing, & follow the owner's manual for maintenance & inspection schedules!

5/5/2022 6:17am I have a 2022 which is the same as the '21. Really like it so far after 8hrs. Pros: Nimble & predictable Power delivery is smooth and useable Well balanced suspension Cons: Maxxis tires - good in soft/loamy/tacky conditions, poor everywhere else Constantly chasing rear wheel spoke tension Have to buy the handlebar map switch aftermarket to enable TC, Map1/2...

Kinda. This whole project started around two years ago when I bet a friend of mine that I could make something similar for android and it just grew from there. The lap time aspect was supposed to be the only aspect of the app but then ideas came to me that I would find useful when riding so I implemented them as I went.

Buy 32 they say it has a inch of stretch but I found it better to go a size up. I'm right now 32-33 in all my jeans, shorts, dress pant. I like my 34s gear better then the 32. But when I was 10-15 lbs lighter the 32s felt better then the 34s

I switched to 34 this season after running 32 FXR pants for a few years. Extra comfort, easier to adjust. Will need to see how new waist adjuster feels and works. I liked the old style.

4/18/2022 6:14pm Could write a short novel on this subject and all the related comments. All I will say is that sometimes in the pro pits, you see way to many T-Handles and not enough torque wrenches. In addition, there’s a lack of mistake proofing and process controls to mitigate mistakes. Using a paint pen to mark torqued bolts for example. There’s...
